I'm refering to corporate welfare, and a specific example pertaining to sports stadiums.

I think we agree on this particular issue. I am against both corperate welfarte in general (on principle, and because of economic inefficiencies it creates, and also because the existance of corporate welfare makes it harder politically for conservatives to reign in non-corporate welfare or other liberal spending ideas) and state funding of stadiums to benefit private individuals in particular.

I worked briefly for as a consultant who helped
to finance stadiums in Baltimore, Cleveland, Miami, and Denver...


The stadium in Miami as well as the new stadium for the Redskins were privately funded. This seems to be the exception in recent years.
